In Rainbows

And no, this has nothing to do with the new Radiohead album. I have to confess I've only heard it once. Blasphemous I know. But I'm remedying that as we speak. By listening to it. Again. We'll discuss how long it should take for music to transform from 'inaccessible' to enjoyable another time. More blasphemy! I know. Might as well just call Jesus a carpenter.

Yeah. But no. What I really wanted to say is that I saw the most perfect rainbow I've ever seen this afternoon, right after getting caught in a shower over my lunch break. Strikingly brilliant, and, to top that, there was a second arc outside of the first. Shyah. D'you know that the second ring on a double rainbow is seen with the colours in the opposite order? Discovered that when we came inside to look up how the hell a rainbow forms, and so I immediately rushed back outside, to confirm with my own eyes, only to find the rainbow gone and a dark grey storm cloud in its place. Five minutes. That's all we got.

But oh how beautiful transience can be...
